DESCRIPTION:
Due to inflation, you’ve probably felt the rising costs in your practice in terms of payroll, product supply, and more. To make matters worse, some PPO insurances have lowered reimbursement rates. Playing the PPO/HMO game nowadays can mean working harder for less compensation and lower quality of care for your patients. Most dentists are nervous about dropping plans because they don’t want to lose patients, but eye-opening numbers reveal what value you’re actually getting out of your insurance plans and exactly what would happen if you were to go out-of-network. This webinar covers the essential “must-do’s” if you want a less insurance-dependent practice.
Learning Objectives
- Explain methodology for calculating how much value each insurance plan is providing a practice, how much must be written off, and what it is costing to participate.
- Calculate the effect on production and profitability if a practice drops a PPO plan or goes entirely out-of-network.
- List key steps required for smoothly transitioning to fee-for-service.
